How can I identify bias in data sources?

Identifying bias in data sources involves examining the data collection methods, the sample size, and the demographics represented. What specific data source are you concerned about?

I'm looking at a dataset for a social media analysis project.

For social media datasets, check if the data includes diverse user demographics. Are there any groups that are underrepresented?

Yes, it seems to focus mostly on younger users.

That could indicate a bias. Consider how this might affect your analysis. Would you like tips on how to adjust for this bias?

Yes, that would be helpful!

You can weight the data to account for underrepresented groups or seek additional data sources to balance your analysis.
